Regular readers of Beauty & Bread and A View From the Porch Rocker; get ready to be double-teamed. Judi & Foxy and Katie & I are taking off on a one day road trip Wednesday. We're joining up at the park today to acquaint the girls, make sure they're socialized (the back of a Subaru Forester becomes a confined space even with the back seats dropped when you're trapped with "a stranger". They're pretty much same size, Kate may be a little larger (she apparently eats more and exercises less ... and is older).
Judi promises to show me parts of the higher country I've not experienced before and we'll find a place to picnic and take in this wonderful portion of God's creation. I'll drive, she'll navigate, we'll stop to ooh & aah and take pictures; the dogs will go along for the ride and an occasional walk in a place with smells they've never smelled before. What a great ticket in the drawer.
I'll charge the camera, fill the doggie travel bag, dig out the picnic basket, we'll take plenty of water (for four of us), oh yeah - I should probably gas up the car, and ... we're off.
Be ready to compare notes. Of course, Judi will concentrate on the wonders of our surroundings, I'll report on the reactions of the dogs - it's all priorities. We've been trying to put something like this together for a year and a half, I'm really looking forward to doing a little wandering!
FOLLOW UP: We all met at the park, took a short walk 'cuz it must've been 9200 degrees on the path, and "the girls" got along famously. Then we came back to the house with the 2 dogs in my car and they shared space beautifully, you'd think they were old friends. Even the cats took to Foxy after we got home and they don't take to just any old fur face. Yep! I'm thinking it's going to be an Excellent Adventure"!
